As you all know there's a war going on between the BU and NCA. Nothing much has happened yet but I do have a few questions on how to make things happen.

Just to fresh up everyone's memory on the rulezz:

a. In a war, you (the player) control the action. You get to write about your forces, your tactics, and what your army did to win (or lose), but keep this realistic. For example: "I took over an entire country that was three times as big as me in 2 days!!11!1!1!" is not a very likely outcome.

b. In a war, an impartial, meaning that they have NO preference for who wins or loses, CM (combat moderator) will decide the outcome of the battle. Here is how this works:

I. First send your plans (including force numbers, tactics, movements, defenses, attacks, etc.) in to the CM (Combat Moderator), Flickrmail or Email works for this. You may also make a temporary group on mocpages for this.

II. The three CM's will analyze BOTH players battle plans, and decide who wins by comparing each side's tactics, strategies, MOCs, plans, and abilities. The CM will either be a group Mod, Admin, or trusted game veteran.

III. The CM will post a CR (Combat Report) in the group's INN(International News convo)detailing how the battle went for everybody and it will include both players battle plans.

IV. The CM's word is final, if you argue or complain actions may be taken.

V. This process repeats until the war ends.

So who want to be CM?
and does my enemy nation agree that we will do one strategy post each week?

I will if everyone else suddenly isnt available, but could you have made a convo for CR in general? Im pretty sure that with all the wars coming the group will have an aful lot of topics.Permalink

The Conglomerate has decided on a taskforce that it is currently organizing to possibly send to the BU for aid, assuming the BU accepts and that we decide that there would actually be a point to doing so (our best analysts have looked at the situation and aren’t seeing much that we are getting out of this operation, so we are currently unsure if we will be going through with it).

This proposed Expeditionary Taskforce will be composed of one core Carrier Strike Group based around Carrier Strike Group 2 as well Expeditionary Strike Groups 1, 3, and 4. The fleet is optimized for an amphibious assault of enemy-held territory. The following is the entire composition of the task force:

On top of this, 50 some Sparrow Unmanned Helicopters will be spread across the various ships and 20 Silentium-Class Littoral Combat Ships are being dispatched to help secure the coastline and act as pickets for the main fleet:

This taskforce will be dispatched from our east coast and will head east towards the conflict zone. We will be relying on combined BU-Conglomerate intelligence coupled with observance from 2 MISTRAL-07 reconnaissance satellites for initial understanding of the enemy order of battle. The initial goal will be to break the local enemy blockade, and then operations for amphibious assaults can commence. The finer details of this strategy will left up to the BU, with the conditions that they are (A.) not a reckless use of our forces (B.) that they will support the taskforce with their own contributions, and (C.) that they will leave the NCA mainland out of this conflict as much as possible . We are also requesting (D.) Something more than 1 territory to make up for this massive show of much-needed support, otherwise we are wary of actually launching this operation due to the currently unfortunate cost/benefit ratio.

Basic Information about the provided units:

Naval –
Auctoritas class Supercarrier: A large supercarrier bringing the bulk of the air-superiority aircraft.

If the Brickville Union and the Conglomerate pledge not to attack any of the Traxxus production facilities throughout, we would be willing to resupply the NCA with shipments of arms and vehicles.

The NCA gladdly accepts Traxxus' offer.

The NCA has issued teh following statement to the BU:
You are cowardly. You clearly lack the confindence to fight me one on one. You have turned this into an alliance war. I will be speaking to the ODF war council today asking for the full alliance might to be brought on the BU.Permalink

You can't really accept an offer that wasn't given to you... ;)

Anyway, due to recently acquired information from a classified third party source and discussing matters with our ally Tongaria, we feel that getting involved in this war on the side of the BU would be pointless and not in our best interest. As of now, we intend to remain neutral.

In other news, the Conglomerate has bumped up Defcon status to level 3, and will not be unassembling our currently formed expeditionary fleet despite the fact that it will not be sailing to aid the BU. Permalink

First part is strictly between me and Traxxus. I assume they have some degree of client confidentiality.

Second part: This is what I get for not asking Matthew to keep this between us. I wonder how compromised I am seeing as someone I thought was my friend may have just sold me out.

3rd part: The NCA apreciates your decision to stay neautral, though why did you say your fleet wasnt beig disassembled? Why would you break down your navy? I dont ever plan on breaking up a fleet, why would you?

P.S. Its better now that you arent sending ships. It'd be a waste of cannon shells and ships for both of us for you to try to hammer through my blockade.Permalink

If you want to assume I got my information from Matthew, that's fine, but you really should read that sentence agian since I didn't say I got the info from him. Anyway, disassemble I was referring to the fleet formation, not to scrapping the ships. In other words, I'm still able to use that fleet, just for other purposes. XDPermalink

And by other purposes, I mean more "local" uses if you know what I mean...Permalink

Ah, I see you are repurposing the fleet as a home defense fleet. Right Matt.

I think I sense sarcasm. XD But just in case you weren't being sarcastic, no, it's still an offensive expeditionary fleet, it just might be being planned to be used somewhere different than its original target. Of course, there is also the the second Expeditionary fleet that's roughy the same size which is being kept in reserve, and other various fleet elements that make up homeland defense.Permalink
